Massive Suburban Rail
Loop For Melbourne

The Victorian government has announced
that a massive, $50 billion, underground
suburban rail network will be built, linking
every major rail line in Melbourne and the
new airport rail, on completion commuters
need not to travel into the city and back out
to reach another part of Melbourne. The 90
kilometres of track would connect 10 train
lines. The lines would be fully underground
from Cheltenham to Melbourne Airport, and
partially underground between the Airport
and Werribee.
The loop would connect 15 stations in
total, with interchanges built at 10 existing
stations. Work on a 25-kilometre section
from Cheltenham to Box Hill will begin
by 2022 and is expected to take about a
decade to complete. Construction on the
section between the Airport and Sunshine
would also start in 2022.
